Judge Jehu Baker, who defeated Mr..
Morrison for Congress, seems to know a
good deal about the South. In converse.
ton the other day he said the stretch of
country from Georgia to Pennsylvania, in
Guiding Virginia and the Carolinas, is unex-
celled in any quarter of the world for health,
productiveness, scenery and general desira-
bility as place of residence, and unequaled
except by part of France. The people, be
says, are big and manly--no better in the
world--and forcibly remind him of those of
his own State in features, speech and man
ners, and in convictions on many questions.
Judge Baker expressed delight at the gener-
Gus hospitality of Southerners. Look out
Judge, that you don't forget those things
when fierce sectional debate comes on in
the House, or when you take the stump for
the next Republican candidate for Presi-
dent

The ranks of the Knights of Labor are
being thinned out. A year ago the organ
ization contained 723,OO0 members; in July,
$4,000; in October, 100000, and now the
figures are said to have dropped to 200, 900
The objects for which the order was organ
lied are unobjectionable, but the manner in
which it has been conducted has not always
met with popular approval.

A Mistaken Judge.

Every once in a while the Tribune catches
a Southern Democrat in New York who is
a protectionist, and this Southern Democrat
is pretty certain to tell the Tribune that the
South is for protection. The Tribune ran
across Judge w. A. Mllilei of Nashville,
at one OF the New York hotels a day or two
ago, and that gentleman talked about the
tariff in way that made the Tribune
happy.
According to the Tribune Judge Milliken
is leading Tennessee lawyer and knows
all about the South that is worth knowing.
The truth probably is that he knows some
thing about the opinions of few mon who
think as he does about the tariff, and they
are perhaps all in Nashville, or its vicinity.
The South is a very big section of country
much bigger than Judge Milliken seems to
think it is-and the opinions of a few manu-
facturers in and about Nashville are very
different from those entertained by the
great majority of the Southern people Sc
fore Judge Milliken undertakes to speak FOR
the South on any question he ought to be
sure he knows what he is talking about.
The protection element in the South is
remarkably small. There are spots
where there are protectionists, who are
such, not because they believe that protec-
ton is good thing for the whole country,
but because they believe it puts few dol
lars into their pockets. The interests of
the South are almost wholly agricultural,
and the farmers, and those who are depend
ent upon them, do not believe that they re-
ceive any benefits from protection. There
is no reason why they should believe So
There are couple of special agricultural
interests which are believed to be benefi ed
by protection, but it is doubtful if they are
to the extent to which they are thought to
be. The farmers, however, know that pro-
lection imposes very heavy tax upon
them.
If Judge Millikin will take the trouble to
find out what the tariff views of Southern
members Of Congress are he will be sur
prised to find that he can count
all of them who are protection
lists on his fingers. If the South
were in favor Of protection Southern Con
gressmen would also favor it. II they did
not represent the sentiments of their con-
stituents they would be retired from public
life very quickly.
If is pretty clear that Judge Mlliken is
man who gives his own opilions as the
opinions of his section. That sort of
egctism is hardly excusable because it is
very misleading. When the Judge goes to
New York again he ought to bear in mind
that a very large part of the South is not
included in Nashville's limits.

Rabbi Rubenstein recently delivered in
Chattanooga lecture on True Religious
Spirit" Its diction was said to be exquisite
and its style strikingly epigrammatic. 1t
was such an unusual production as to cause
the Knoxville Tribune to pay particular
attention to it, and now that paper quotes
literally from an essay by Ralph Waldo
Emerson on worship" running portions
of Rabbi Rubensteins lecture in a parallel
column, and the similarity is so remark
able that some people might think some
body concerned was a p agiarist The

THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.
Deep Interest Excited Over the Vote In the
Senate.
There was great anxiety yesterday to
know the result of the vote in the Senate
on the prohibition amendment, and the
bulletin at the REGISTER office was sur
rounded all afternoon by a crowd Of peo-
pie eager TO learn wha; was going on.
! Opponents of the measure thought Senator
Scott, Who was here in the city, ought to
have been at his post, and a REGISTER re-
porter spoke to the Senator regarding the
matter. He said:
1T is necessary for me to I've here in
Wheeling. Our directors held a very i'm
portant meeting today, and our stock.
holders will meet tomorrow. rendering
my presence indispensable. could do no
good in Charleston now. The case has
been fully made up and given to the jury,
l may say, and even if | were there to vote
it could make no difference in the result.
There must be Is ayes regardless of the
number of nays, for the measure has to
receive two-thirds of all the members cleo
ted to the Senate"
Senator Scott is a member of the Com
mittee appointed to investigate into the
management of the penitentiary. The
Committee will reach Moundsville Mon
day and will organize at the penitentiary
Tuesday. The members, four from each
party, pair with each other on the Sena-
tarial question, and the relative strength
of the parties will not be changed by the
absence of the members.

AN HOP,

Given Last Evening at Franzhein's Hall.
A number of young society people as
sembled last evening at F~ranzheim's Hall,
on Main street, to indulge in the delights
of an informal little hop, which was the
first of a series of such entertainments to
be given this season. The commencement
portends well for those to follow, for
the occasion was certainly a most delight
full one. The announcement was that
dancing would begin precisely at s o'clock,
but il was half an hour later before the
programme was fairly started, and it was
continued in one almost incesSant stream
of enjoyment until one o'clock this morn
ing.
Prof. Joe Kramer's orchestra was on
hand and of course the music was superb,
and waltz, polka, scottische and lancers
followed each other in swift succession,
and light feet and happy hearts kept time
TO the graceful measures. The affair was
full dress, and while of a rather in
formal nature was highly enjoyable. The
dressing of the ladies was very handsome.

Justice and fairness, the majority in Coun

well known. No play on the road has
drawn larger houses in the past eight years,

A n OF KEYS.

That collection OF the funniest kind OF
fun, "a Bunch of Keys" will be at the
Opera House Tuesday evening next and
the very announcement Of the fact is all
that is necessary to draw a crowded house.
The Baltimore american says of it: "A
Bunch Of Keys" has scored a success that
will long be remembered in dramatic an
nails. The piece itself has already won
great popularity in Baltimore and is doing
an immense business. 1t is without doubt
the most amusing and most TO be appre-
ciated satire upon the present system OF
running hotels that has ever been pro-
duced. The scenery is excellent, the
mechanical effects being very realistic and
working in perfect harmony with every
event in the entire exciting and hilarious
comedy.

The press OF the country speaks in the
highest terms of the family and their
versatile talent. They give a decidedly
unique and interesting performance, ap'
pearing in the costumes and playing upon
the favoritc Instruments of all nations.
Thereis nothing in the musical line that
seems impossible for them to do and they
succeed in showing their auditors about all
there is lin music. 1t is pronounced as the
finest attraction on the road. The houses
on both occasions, no doubt will, be filled
with our music loving people.
